Tight end Kolby Arendse will need surgery on his injured right foot and is done for the season, Nevada football coach Brian Polian announced Tuesday at his weekly news conference.

"It's an unfortunate part of our game, but it's heartbreaking that you lose such a key guy, an important leader," said Polian, whose team has a bye this week. "Take his production out of it. He has bought in to everything we are trying to do here. My heart breaks for him. And frankly it hurts us as a football team because the guy was playing really, really well."
